En  How A Blind Developer Uses Visual Studio : Saqib Shaikh, a developer who happens to be blind, shows how he uses Visual Studio 2017 with screen reader software for writing and debugging code.

Muy interesante el vídeo  How does a blind developer code? Plus start of react firebase starter project : I am a totally blind coder and thought I would post this video of me doing some coding to let others know how I do it. Part of me wants to totally edit this video but I am leaving it as is. This is my first video. 

En el artículo  Así se examinan los militares de la UNED que participan en misiones internacionales se puede leer: Los números sirven también para definir los diferentes aspectos de la labor de la UNED, que no solo es la universidad con mayor número de estudiantes (140.000 en estudios oficiales y más de 200.000 si se incluyen los cursos de formación continua e idiomas), sino también el campus más internacional (con 7.000 estudiantes de 121 nacionalidades). Pero más allá, “está formando a 8.075 estudiantes con discapacidad, lo que supone el 33 % de todos los estudiantes de grado con discapacidad en España, y el 40 % de los que cursan un máster”, recuerda Mairal, que señala la proyección social de la UNED como una de sus grandes fortalezas. “En los últimos años, se han graduado o licenciado 2.032 estudiantes con discapacidad, una prueba inequívoca del éxito de este colectivo”.  Para los alumnos con necesidades especiales, como la lectura en Braille, lengua de signos o diversas adaptacio

En  Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 se encuentra el borrador de la próxima versión de WCAG. El objetivo de WCAG 2.2 es: WCAG 2.2 was initiated with the goal to continue the work of WCAG 2.1: Improving accessibility guidance for three major groups: users with cognitive or learning disabilities, users with low vision, and users with disabilities on mobile devices. Many ways to meet these needs were proposed and evaluated, and a set of these were refined by the Working Group. Structural requirements inherited from WCAG 2.0, clarity and impact of proposals, and timeline led to the final set of success criteria included in this version. The Working Group considers that WCAG 2.2 incrementally advances web content accessibility guidance for all these areas, but underscores that not all user needs are met by these guidelines. Y la compatibilidad hacia atrás se mantiene: WCAG 2.2 builds on and is backwards compatible with WCAG 2.1, meaning web pages that conform to WCAG 2.2 als

Muy interesante el addon Speech History para NVDA: An updated version of the Clip Copy add-on, initially created by Tyler Spivey.  The add-on allows you to review the most recent 100 items spoken by NVDA, as well as copy the selected item to the clipboard.  By default, use Shift+F11 to move back through the history, Shift+F12 to move forwards and F12 on its own to copy the selected item.  These hotkeys can be updated from within the Speech category of NVDA's Input gestures dialog.

Interesante vídeo que explica el modelo social de la discapacidad:

Un buen ejemplo de cumplimiento del criterio de éxito  1.4.1 Use of Color : Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.

El artículo  Accessibility - beyond the screen reader explica que normalmente los esfuerzos para lograr un sitio web accesible se centran en los usuarios ciegos que utilizan un lector de pantallas, dejando de lado los usuarios con baja visión: For most people, Web accessibility means making content compatible with screen readers. As a designer, what first comes to mind might be providing alt text for images. As a developer, it might be adding WAI-ARIA roles and properties to the source code. As a content strategist, it might be unambiguous link text that makes sense on its own. All of these are good starting points, but ultimately, who truly benefits from these things? Blind people using screen readers, but who else?  The needs of blind users are obviously important. But until we invest at least 6.3 times as much effort making content accessible to low vision users as we spend making content compatible to screen readers, it will be safe to say we are missing what it means to create co

En TED he encontrado el vídeo  When we design for disability, we all benefit : "I believe that losing my hearing was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received," says Elise Roy. As a disability rights lawyer and design thinker, she knows that being Deaf gives her a unique way of experiencing and reframing the world — a perspective that could solve some of our largest problems. As she says: "When we design for disability first, you often stumble upon solutions that are better than those when we design for the norm."
